More Tips From Nicole Sassaman

11. Take holiday-colored ribbon and pin or glue it around the bottom of your lamp shade. So simple and so stylish!

12. Go branch hunting outside. Spray-paint the branches in a silver or gold, pop them in a vase and voilà ... elegant holiday decor. Take it a step further and dangle some ornaments on them or tie a few bows.

13. Make your own holiday wreaths. Go outside and cut almost any type of greenery that you see, bend it into a circle and tie with anything you have, whether it is fishing string, ribbon or rope. Hang it simple and fresh and add a few ribbons or ornaments. You can also use these on a table and lay them flat, then place a candle in the center. If you let it dry out, you can make it last a bit longer and even spray it a holiday color if you choose.

14. Take some hanging picture frames and simply frame some pretty holiday paper as artwork. Sometimes you can even find a nice greeting card worthy of being framed and hung.

15. Take a blank canvas and spray-paint it a solid holiday color! It is that simple. You could also stencil or stamp snowflakes, stars, etc. to add some holiday accent!

16. Take some small household, clear glass bottles and throw some holiday-colored drops of paint inside, shake it up and the paint will splatter inside to look like a modern piece of art. Tie a ribbon around the top and you can decorate a whole Christmas tree with them. It will look like a cool piece of art! You can also just spray the outsides a solid color! Makes for great shelf ornaments, kitchen counter decorations or centerpieces!
